Postmaster Hayes, a cousin of James

portion home with him and carefully
boxed and buried it on their lot in
the cemetery. The fingers were in a
cramped position when the arm was
crushed and were not Strengthened
after.
The patient who had borne up heroic
ally under the pains of the accident
and amputatiOn, complained to his at
tendant on Friday night and Saturday

OF the dIsmembered arm, and at 8 a. m.

Strengthened the fingers and replaced
the arm in the ground.
On returning to town q telephone
was returned stating what had been
done. From that hour the patient has
rested easy and on Wednesday wrote a
letter home with his left hand. We
have often read of similar circum.
stances. Spiritualists claim that the
spirit does not leave the body until
the decomposition has fully completed
its work. This would seem to confirm
this theory.-PeT7ysbarg Journal.

One of the simplest barometers is q
spiders web. When there is prospect
of rain or wind the spider shortens the
fillaments from which its web is sus-
pended and leaves things in this state
as long as the weather is variable. II
the insect elongates its thread it is a
sign of fine, calm weather, the duration
of which may be judged of by the
length to which the breads are left out.
If the spider remains inactive it is q
sign of rain; but if on the contrary, it
keeps at work during a rain, the latter
will not last long, and will be followed
by fine weather. Other observations
have taught that the spider makes
changes in its web every twenty-four
hours, and that if such changes are
made in the evening, just before sun
set, the night will be clear and beautiful.

What the Special Message Was For

After largely increasing the pupliC
debt of Ohio, after exhausting the
limit of the States borrowing powers
under the constitution, after anticipat-
ing the States revenue and having all
means for meeting the public debt cut
off, Mr.. Foraker found himself and the
States credit in a critical condition.
He then issued his Especial message
to the Legislature in which he suggest
ed an increase of taxation by revalua-
ton. Now that another election is on
and Mr.. Foraker is asking for a re-
election, he has the audacity to come
before the people and explain his
message by saying that he did not ask
for an increase of taxation, but for q re-
valuation, as he claimed that taxation
in some counties is not equal with the
taxes in others.
Governor Foraker had no such idea
when he issued his message to the
general assembly. He knew full we'll
that the reckless extravaganza of his
party had increased the expenditures
of the State far beyond its income and
he had but one idea and that was to in
crease taxation on farms and all kinds
of real estate to meet the difficulty
caused by the folly of his administra-
tion. His message and his acts will
permit of no other construction.
